Our Brain

Just as Emily Dickenson said, “the brain is wider than the sky,” so is the science behind neurobiology. There is a great story behind the workings of our brain that contemporary science can only begin to describe. Our neurobiology class was an introduction for me into this vast, barely tangible science. It is easy to say that this course has shown me how much I don’t know about neurobiology and it has opened up a can of questions that I would never have thought to pose before. But more importantly, I feel as if this course has taught me to think differently about myself and the way I think. From the checkerboard shadow example to our discussions on depth and color to explaining our emotions, how we perceive the world is entirely wrapped up in our brains.
